This is the facility in question: 1390 Sunset Point Road in Clearwater, FL

The site is the former home of Sunset Point Baptist Church, Sunset Point Christian School, and New Beginnings Community Church. This is a photo from Google Earth of the site.

The site is close to four schools.

The property was in foreclosure when it was purchased on May 10, 2013 for $950,000 by Rehabilitation Initiatives LLC, 1230 S. Myrtle Ave in Clearwater.

The director of Rehabilitation Initiatives is Sean Strickling, who is a former director of Narconon Spring Hill and currently a director of Novus Medical Detox in New Port Richey, FL. The address of Rehabilitation Initiatives is also the offices of Narconon Spring Hill, Toucan Partners LLC, Feshbach Investments, Falcon Research, Carez Corporation, and Addiction Help Services. This chart from CorporationsWiki shows the relationships between these companies. The chart doesn't show that Sean Strickling is the CFO of Toucan Partners, which is the property owner of the Narconon Spring Hill facility.

It was suggested that this couldn't be a Narconon because the site lacks saunas.

"Sauna purchase and shipping $18,553.00Sauna installation $5,800.00"

There are to be 19 sleeping rooms in the facility, of sufficient size to house 60 patients. The patients will be provided with "gang bathrooms."

Also, to provide security for the site, and perhaps for the surrounding schools, there is provision for a "6 foot perimeter wall ... and entry gate."

There is currently no license from the Department of Children and Families to operate a Drug Rehab program at this location, nor has one been applied for. They can apply once the construction is complete, and they have a Certificate of Occupancy or a Certificate of Completion. The state would then have 30 days to determine if the application meets the state minimum requirments, or not.

Suncoast Rehabilitation Center to relocate to Clearwater after settlement

...The new facility will have room for up to 60 beds, compared with the current 27. Additionally, the new building will be large enough to offer all elements of the treatment program in a single location, something not possible at the Spring Hill facility. A commercial kitchen is also planned.

The bolded ^^^ facility was never their legal name and they never filed for that corporate name because it was used by another company for many years. They have always been Narconon Spring Hill, Inc dba Suncoast Rehabilitation Center and now changed the Narconon Spring Hill, Inc corporation name to Narconon Suncoast, Inc. They filed an amended change form for the owner of the fictitious name as well to Narconon Suncoast, Inc.
